I got attached, dispite all my better judgement
Despite everything I knew
I suppose I simply got used to the way you spoke
You were so full of ideas and emotion
I basked in your words
Let them shower over me
You were so reassuring
You gave me something to look forward to
You gave me the attention I longed for
You spent time with me,
Listened to me
And I got attached
Then it seemed to go away
No warning
No notice
No letter of resignation
It was swiped out from under me
But the worst thing is because I got attached
I don't only feel rejected by you
I feel rejected by the world
I find myself more vulnerable to pain and longing
When people tell me to go away, or to leave them alone
I feel personally attacked, hurt beyond all reason and all because,
I got attached and I shouldn't have.
